Perfect Getaway

of 5

I took my grandmother (96 years old), three of my aunts, my mom, sister and two cousins on a 3 day getaway to Santa Barbara. David was so gracious and provided us with all the information and things to do around Santa Barbara. The house was perfect for us. It had all the dishes, wine glasses and kitchen utensils. We had plenty of pillows and blankets. Just brought our clothes and food. We had a wonderful time at this property. It's close to downtown and the beach. We took walks every morning to the beach. It's about a 20 minute walk and less than a 10 minute drive to the beach. I would rent this house again. It was very clean and well kept. We sat outside and had our coffee. The backyard is great for BBQs.

Perfect Location, Comfy Bed and Lovely Garden

We had a lovely stay in this home while visiting family in the SB area. The home was clean, well equipped, exactly as pictured in terms of the interior, and above what we expected in terms of the lovely fenced garden!

The fence and hedges provide excellent privacy while also allowing light through and not feeling too isolated.

Was too chilly to bbq outside but we made 2 big dinners and one brunch in the kitchen, I found everything I needed and we were very comfortable cooking, eating and hanging out inside this house. (some rentals are too small or not comfortable in terms of seating, etc)

The location was absolutely perfect for us, easy walk to coffee and breakfast and state street. Even my in-laws in their late 70s loved the 15 minute walk to State street shopping and dining.

My communications with the manager were prompt, clear and friendly.

We'll certainly be hoping to stay at this property again on future visits to the area.

Just like Home

We (six people) really enjoyed staying here for a week in July. It is one of the best equiped rental homes we have ever stayed in. There are plenty of pots, pans, cups, bowls,utensils, knives, dishes, wine glasses, and anything else one would need to cook for a lot of people. The dinning table handles 8 people. Add to that: lots of towels, sheets, blankets and a washer and dryer. The wi fi is great along with the Dish network and TV which the kids really appreciated. (God forbid they are ever disconnected!) The fairly new backyard BBQ grill worked wonderfully and there is plenty of off street parking for 3 cars. So, yes, highly reccomended.

Our trip

We had a wonderful time in your beautiful home. My only suggestion would be to leave instructions on how to work the TV. We never were able to get to a channel we wanted. Maybe a TV guide as to what channel is news etc? Other than that...perfect place for children to safely play.

We, two couples, love staying in this sweet Craftsman. We had easy walks to downtown and to that excellent ice cream place a block to the east. This was one of the easiest vacation rentals I've had. Would happily return and send our friends or relatives.

Exactly what I wanted- as advertised

This was exactly what we wanted. Surfing trip for 8 guys. The garden area was perfect for us to relax in after surfing in the mornings. We would order a cab at night, $10 to downtown.

The furnishings were great. Comfortable living room fit us all in, speaker system to plug into, dining room was spacious (though un-used by us : ). The kitchen and bedrooms are a bit tight, just small really, but that was fine with us. In fact, he had all sorts of good cooking contraptions and even leftover condiments in the fridge and seasonings and so forth- would have been very easy to cook up some meals here as well.

So, I'd recommend this for a family with kids as well as adult vacationers. The enclosed lawn area is a great space to spend the afternoon, or between sightseeing. The road running alongside the property has some noise- it's not silent and quaint here- but it's nothing overbearing in the least.

I've stayed in about a dozen house rentals like this over the past few years- this ranks up there with the best of them. Great job David!
